Ever
since picking up some of War Rockets space fighters several years ago I have
been on the lookout for a decent set of Space Combat rules - Well Ganesha Games
latest offering on Kickstarter just might do the trick.
Star
Eagles is a science fiction action game of futuristic space fighter combat that
allows you to play out the battles from your favourite books, movies, and TV shows.
In a standard game, each player controls a squadron of 4-12 ships competing in
exciting, objective-based missions in space, on moons, and in the atmosphere of
planets. The game is easy to learn, yet tactically rich with many options that
provide variety without bogging down the pace.
Players
build their squadron from a variety of small craft ranging from nimble, yet
fragile, light fighters all the way up to larger gunboats and corvettes.
With
what appears to be a standalone ship building element I should be able to draw
up stats for the Flash Gordon Fleets, although Ganesha will be producing two
full sets of miniatures representing the two main adversaries, the mysterious
and technologically advanced S’Sekai, and the loosely aligned Confederate
Stars, made up of former earth colonies and a few independent alien homeworlds.
The
Kickstarter campaign is already fully funded and has a planned shipping date of
September 2017. You can back it Here.

Stuart,
ReplyDeleteA very interesting Project- I do like your Flash Gordon styled miniature ships- I could be very tempted by this...looks to be a great deal of fun. Cheers. KEV.
On a small project Kev, everytime I think of selling on something else comes along to spark my interest :-)
